Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Score: 90 Release Price: $40 Country: Oregon Region: Oregon Issue: Dec 31, 2009 Elegant, with a light burr of tannins under the pretty raspberry and red cherry flavors, lingering against a floral note on the finish. Drink now through 2012. 3,000 cases made. --HS

It can be enjoyed now but should provide pleasure for a decade. Rollin Soles is convinced that great Chardonnay can be produced in the Willamette Valley. He presented a vertical of Nut House Chardonnay from 1999 through 2007 to make his point. The wines clearly reflect vintage conditions with 1999 and 2002 showing particularly well and 2003 reflecting the effects of extreme heat spikes. Argyle's Pinot Noir fruit was all picked pre-rain. However, there is no green or herbaceous character in any of the wines
